They are new tastes which comes to market sometimes, Russia might be only place where you can buy them right now. In Russia there are also vanilla, ginger-lime and spearmint. All extreme white dry portions.

A special thanks to a SnusOn member, "Void", who sent me two Oden's Extreme products with a very limited availability to review. This is one of the two I'll be talking about - the other being Vanilla. As I mentioned in my last review - I was not a fan of Oden's 69. It was kinda "meh", and a little too dry. But as these flavors only come in White/Dry portions for the time being, I was hoping for the best. These cans have Russian warning labels/information on the bottom. They're the standard hockey puck can GN has been using, and come in a white color. As of right now, I'm about 50/50 on Apple snus. In the past, I tried the V2 Offroad Apple portions which were completely and utterly terribly. They, however, redeemed themselves by releasing Offroad Long Cut: Apple, which had a MUCH better and vastly improved apple taste. So expectations were mixed about this one.


As I mentioned in my last review, the portions are quite dry, so I had to do a little pre-wetting before I was able to use them, so I could get the maximum taste out of them. I got a picture when I did the Oden's 69 review of the tobacco inside, it's pretty dry, but with a little moisture added it's usually good to go. The aroma of this can is very interesting - a smoky apple aroma with a nutty presence as well, I can't think of any other way to describe it. The taste is actually pretty decent. I imagine in a white portion this would taste much better - in it's present state it's just kinda average. A smoky apple flavor with almost a natural/herbal like quality in the background and a nutty taste, like walnuts - I can't think of what that is either. It's a very unique snus, that's for sure. I've never tasted anything like it. I hope that GN releases this as an Original Portion, I can imagine that would amp the flavor up a bit and make it much, much better. So decent, average - but with a lot of potential.

Thanks for review, Chad.

After trying Mr. GN’s latest wizardry……….i.e. Burnt Apple…………I must say I am really liking this……….It is extremely (no pun intended) well done and very well balanced.

The Apple is not candy like at all but rather very natural ….like a tart green apple …..it seems to have the Extreme tobacco as a base and I picked up little hints of cream (vanilla) that showed up quietly every so often.

The flavor lasts and holds its balance throughout the portion without bitterness

The only thing I can think to compare this to is Gotlandsnus Green……….. in both Gotlands Green and Burnt Apple the apple flavor is very similar….natural and tart (verses fake and candy sweet)……..let me stress this……this is not a dessert tobacco….or a kiddie candy tobacco…….but a very mature and natural flavoring

The difference between Gotelands and Burnt Apple are:

Gotlands is more herbal and thus more bitter (in an herbal sort of way……..not in a bad cheap tobacco sort of way)

While Burnt Apple is more tart apple and tobacco without the herbal aspect. Thus the Burnt Apple seems to be more straightforward and more direct….and less bitter

If you want a preview of what this tobacco is like……………put in some Extreme or Ving regular…..and then take a bite of a crisp green tart apple…………at the point when you can taste both the Apple and the tobacco evenly………..you will have a good ball park idea of Burnt Apple

Bottom Line: If you like flavored tobacco……..(and even if you tend not to)………..Burnt Apple is well worth a try and a very nice break from the mint and berries that pervade the market…………This is a solid and well-made snus that you will want to try!!!!
